If you thought Trump was bad today, just imagine JD Vance as president with zero restraint.

The irony of billionaire oligarchs dismantling the post-New Deal order is that they’re stripping away the buffers that keep their wealth and privilege insulated from working class movements. They think tech bros can keep them insulated with algorithms, but that won’t work when it becomes oppressive

lol you can add a review to the “Gulf of America” on Google Maps

“My logic was not in error. But I was.” Man Voyager got good a lot faster than other Star Trek shows

This is how you convince conservatives to eliminate land use law. There’s literally no reason the government should be telling property owners what they can do on their land if there isn’t a compelling health or safety interest

Picking up on a real 1930s vibe here

Really appreciating Robert Picardo’s performance as the Doctor this time around. Sure he’s abrasive, but he becomes softer when he deals with Kes & Neelix in The Phage

The #OpenStreetMap discussions about this have been pretty civil: “Yeah, we can just an alt_name or name:en_us tag”

Time to rewatch Star Trek: Voyager. This show gets better with age

“is, are, was, were, do, did, done, has, have, had, should, would, could, be, been, may, might, must, will, and shall are always verbs” Thanks to my second grade teacher Mrs. Hunt for that ear work that’s stuck with me for 25 years

Anybody on Letterboxd?

You know the American left is unserious larpers when their best response to the TikTok ban that Democrats voted for and Biden signed is “UHHH TRUMP TRIED IT FIRST” this is why you never win

Update: we found a foster!!

Finally watching King of the Hill properly. Seriously, what a great show.

Anybody in #Dallas want to rescue a cat? My wife picked this friendly stray off Northwest Highway. We’d keep her but we already have 4

Did Calf Extensions until failure and now I’m walking like a zombie

Just started Season 6 of my rewatch of Deep Space Nine. Welp, there goes the weekend

Been putting a lot of thought into it, and I’m having a hard time seeing how Villeneuve’s Dune: Messiah adaptation will work given the changes he made to the original book in Part Two. The conflict between Chani and Paul and lack of time jump alone are odd choices

Don’t forget: free DART rides tonight!

“The Scary Door” in Futurama. I’m dead 😂

Don’t watch that video of Jejun Air Flight 2216 if you’re sensitive to that kind of thing. It’s bad

Can’t believe how fast I’m plowing through Futurama

But she’s already my greatest present ;_;

“Welcome to our beautiful chaof” -17th century aphorism

How did I feel about Dune: Prophecy? Quality was a bit uneven in early episodes but the writing and performances pulled it out. Events and motivations had that organic complexity typical of Dune, which ultimately make it a good entry. The more I think, the more I peel away

Submitted a 311 request due to moldy items from a bakery, and the City of Dallas sat on it for a week and didn’t do anything about it before closing the request. Remind me why I pay taxes again?

In the future of Dune: Prophecy, thinking machines can be destroyed with a single hit with a crowbar to its console

I haven’t watched a superhero movie in 5+ years.

“Like everything else in life, pumping is just a primitive, degenerate form of bending”

*destroys your Dancing Cactus Mimic toy* THOU SHALT NOT MAKE A MACHINE IN THE LIKENESS OF A HUMAN MIND

Yassss. Dune: Prophecy renewed for Season 2

“No more dead jocks!”

Saw two separate dead birds on the way in and leaving the office. Guess bird flu is getting real
